Question:
I am a 25 year old Middle Eastern woman. I was recently reading about ethnic rhinoplasty. How does this pertain to people of Middle Eastern decent?
Answer:
Each rhinoplasty is customized to the patient. When you come to the office, my staff will take your photos and download them into our computer. I will meet with you and we will discuss what you would like changed about your nose. After I have examined your nose, we will discuss the options. Computer imaging is a very helpful tool that allows us to agree on the goal of surgery. Once we have agreed on what we want your nose to look like, then I can get into specific detail about surgery for you. Often in rhinoplasty on a patient of Middle Eastern descent, this involves some takedown of the nasal hump, and some lifting of a droopy nose. At times, there is a twist in the nose, a bulbous tip, and wide nostrils. We will discuss these as they relate to your nose, and develop a specific plan of action to address the things you don’t like about your nose.
